There is no right or wrong here, a page needs to be as long as it needs to be. If you’re writing a detailed article it could span 5,000-10,000 words, if you have a “thanks” page after submitting a form you probably on need a short message.

A useful page should be long enough to contain about 1000 words, plus photos so a google robot can find a reason to crawl it.

150 word page is not worth it.

Span attention is short. So an article should be… as long as it needs but no more than that.

I mean that if you need to get into detail, make it as short as possible. Your style of writing will affect how long someone will be willing to read that article. If it is too technical and boring, they may not stay even for 50 words.

Generally speaking, 400-700 words would be a standard length article. But that doesn’t mean that your article has to be that long. If you don’t need that many words, then don’t push it. If you need more… well, then consider if you can divide article into more articles or if it has to stay as one. If the second, then use as many words as you need.

We should create a web page without taking into mind that what’s the length of web page. It might be just 300 words or might be 3000 words. Both are ok

It is simple, The page should meet the purpose of the page. If its a service page, you need to describe all the services and details. Website and web-pages are for users, not for google. It is really good if you can add multimedia content. So 300 words or 3000 words, it doesn’t matter.
